As the Olympic Games loom ahead we like to show you the official shoes of the 1984 Games held in Los Angeles. Back then, Converse was main sponsor of the American Athletic Federation although the brand was in fact renowned mainly for its basket models. In the attempt to undermine the primacy of Nike, New Balance and adidas in the running sector, the company born in Massachusetts decided to release the model we present here, later re-released with varying success in more recent times. The quotation of the OG version is around 150 dollars. A big deal if you consider the fact that it’s a model extremely resistant, still in perfect shape after almost thirty years.
